Did you try rebooting in safe mode and then doing a system restore to last known good config?

If its a laptop look on the bottom on the windows sticker, enter the registration key. If its a desktop, look around on the back of the case for the windows registration sticker with the key on it. What version of xp is it? If you cant find the reg #, download a keygen, or I may have a key for you. I think i have a xp pro key somewhere

Also, disconnect the internet source to the comp you are working on before you enter the key, they may or may not be valid. After you get the key in and windows up, then reconnect your instawebs. You may or may not get a "Not a genuine Windows Copy" warning in your taskbar, but you can close it.
  Also, Ubuntu is free, as is Kubuntu, Solaris, etc...

Microsoft realized that you do not have a valid license key, that's what happened. If you are a student you can order Windows 7 directly from MS for $30.

How is 7 SE? Last time I used a SE, it sucked bawls.
But sounds like you will either have to buy, or figure something out.

Nice, thats good they did that, instead of giving out a dumbed down OS.

I gave you a few keys, if those wont work you need someone that knows what they are doing to physically be in front of it

I've never heard of it blocking your start menu and all that...

You could download Win7 RC1 and find a key, or I have a few at home, it's good for a year.

Or just search "windows 7 BIE" on your favorite torrent search engine and download the latest one (they usually have one every month).  They're easy enough for any fool to install...just make sure not to format what you have :P

If I had a student discount, or it was reasonably priced, I'd buy a legit version.  Win7 is well worth it IMO.

I haven't messed with 7 alot yet, but from what I did see, it seems it was geared more towards plug and play networking, and appearance
